Need rear sets up high for that winger. It will need an unusual linkage.

I want that seat, looks great. I think fork boots would be the next move. How good of shape are those engine valve cover guards in? If as good as they look, then trade them for some not so nice ones and then use electrolysis and sand with 400 then paint them olive green also. Work into the trade a nice left side battery cover. I have a pair of engine guards that can no way stay chrome, but not close enough to you to help.

I have the left side cover. It was off to hook up the charger. Fork boots sound good, I may try that. It would be almost "Scrambler-esque".

Well you have that military look going on there and you're a boxer sort of guy...here's the Harley.
I hate to disagree with Fred but his comment about high rearset controls for that other rider appears to be overly complicated. Wood blocks work and come in a variety of sizes so you can adjust as he/she (hard to tell what's inside that helmet) grows.

Like the black exhaust, brings more attention to the engine. How about removing the radiator wings?
